Plans unveiled to build 80 new homes next to Northampton village – but nearby residents object in their droves

Plans have been unveiled to build 80 homes next to a Northampton village – but nearby residents have submitted objections in their droves.

Kislingbury Farm LLP has resubmitted plans to build 80 new homes on land in Upton Valley Way North, next to Pineham village, which is housing estate of around 559 homes.

Plans were first submitted in 2020 but were met with objections from residents which raised concerns about flooding in the area and lack of infrastructure.

However, three years on, following public consultation, the applicant has resubmitted its plans.

The applicant said: “The Pineham village application and the proposal it puts forward have been the subject of consultation and further consideration since January 2021.

“Positive consideration of the consultation responses to the application has resulted in an improved masterplan whilst sustaining the key design and access principles explained in the Design and Access Statement which supports the application.
